SEATTLE -- Yoenis Cespedes showed off his throwing arm once again, and Willie Bloomquist was ruled out on a close play at the plate in the eighth inning of the Mariners' 6-2 victory over the A's on Saturday, a call that would stand after video replay.

Bloomquist tried to score from second on a base hit to left by Endy Chavez with one out. He was called out by home-plate umpire Bob Davidson on the throw to the plate by Cespedes, with Bloomquist's foot reaching the base right as catcher Derek Norris applied the tag.
